He said: “The problem with the unelected SHAs was – is – that they almost inevitably reflected the dominant medical view.

“Fluoridation was a classic case of premature consensus, on weak evidence from the 1950s and 1960s, and it became a kind of sacred cow, resistant to new evidence.”

The Strategic Health Authority had decided to fluoridate Southampton “against the expressed wishes of its population”, he said, pointing to comments by one expert who described the process as a
“religion”.

In September, Southampton city councillors voted to oppose the controversial plans after a campaign by opponents of the scheme forced the matter to be debated in the council chamber.

And they agreed to use any future powers to prevent the implementation of a proposed fluoridation scheme by health chiefs.

After a successful legal challenge, South Central SHA is working with Southern Water to determine how fluoride will be added, after defeating a High Court legal challenge. Nearly 200,000 people in
parts of Southampton, Eastleigh, Totton, Netley and Rownhams will be affected by the plans.

Baroness Northover pointed to a study in 2000 that found that adding fluoride to water did decrease the risk of tooth decay.

There were also claims that councils would not be willing to push ahead with fluoridation if they did not get the financial benefits from any improvement in public health.

Labour peer Lord Hunt, the president of the British Fluoridation Society, warned that if local authorities do not have a direct interest in the cost of dental
health care, it could be a barrier to them paying out on fluoridation schemes.

But Baroness Northover said councils would be compensated for the costs.

I just can't see how humanity has managed to exist as long as it has without fluoridation. Ant to think we used to eat food without added chemicals as well! Thank God (however you may see him/her) for progress.

There are children that are suffering the after effects of Mumps, Measles and Rubella because their parents listened to one misinformed person and did not permit their children to have the MMR vaccination.

This fluoride scare is very similar. The vast majority of the anti-brigade have little or no knowledge of the subject, and take every scare story as the gospel truth.

If you want flouride, make it avialable to those that do.

.. far from it Linesman.

The scientific peer-reviewed evidence of the harm fluoride causes in the whole body is extensive, compelling and beyond reasonable doubt.

The SHA have deliberately been extremely selective in the dental evidence they have based their decision on and have completely ignored all the rest of the whole-body detriment that fluoride causes.

While I take your point on MMR, with fluoride we don't have "one misinformed person" - just one undemocratic, misinformed and suborn SHA, who don't have the scientific qualifications analyse the depth of data that does exist.

And, as a precautionary tale, perhaps you may remember the nvCJD debacle. How many eminent scientists continually told us "beef is safe"? It wasn't though, was it? In the case of fluoride there is nowhere near the same scientific consensus that fluoride is safe, indeed the volume of evidence as to its detriment is considerable.

So, just on the basis of the Precautionary Principle if nothing else, it would be wise to keep this chemical out of our water supplies.

The SHA act on the advice of a great deal of scientific research, and also on the evidence obtained from more than half a century of fluoridation of the water supply in the Midlands.

If the SHA 'have been deliberately selective in the dental advice they have based their decision on' as you claim, could it possibly be that you have also been selective in the articles that you read on which you have based your conclusions?

Something tells me that the SHA would have greater resources, both in manpower and finance, that they would use to reach their conclusions.

You completely miss my points Linesman.

I do NOT deny that there is evidence that fluoride in water supplies has had an effect in reducing dental caries in children. When you look at the data, however, the difference is minimal – fluoride has only a tiny benefit in the reduction of caries.

The SHA had been tasked with trying to reduce the previously high incidence of dental caries in this area. The fact that the latest statistics show a considerable drop in caries in this area, now making it little different from fluoridated areas, has not been considered by the SHA.

The overwhelming data as to the whole-body effects of fluoride have been ignored by the SHA as it is not part of their remit to reduce dental caries.

This is the danger of letting unaccountable bodies taking such important decisions – the act with tunnel vision on solving a problem that the data tells us hardly exists.

nvCJD – I think you will find it was government scientists, including the Chief Scientific Officer, who were telling us for a considerable number of years that “beef is safe”. It was the ‘maverick’ dissenters of the scientific community who provided the data that this was not so and eventually convinced the government and its scientists that their previous position was now scientifically untenable.

The point Artina makes, and I totally agree with, is that NOBODY should have medication forced upon them against their will. That, surely, is a fundamental human right.

And, before someone retaliates that we all have to put up with chlorine in our public water supplies, there is a huge fundamental difference. Chlorine is added to ensure the water is safe to drink - NOT as a mass medication for a specific medical condition. Fluoride has no effect on water safety - it is added ONLY as a medication.

freefinker, your statement "flouiride (sic) in water supplies has had an effect in reducing dental caries" is a major understatement along the lines of "Nagasaki was a large bomb" or 'Chalotte Church is quite pretty.'

Large levels of fluoride salts reduce the incidence of dental problems massively. Whether they have other effects is another matter which is not being considered here.

Perhaps we should introduce bromide salts to the water supply in the hope of (in 30 years) reducing our incidence of morons?

I like the bit where you say "whether they have any side effects is another matter." Perhaps the other matter is something that matters more than the state of our teeth. If people want extra fluoride for the sake of their teeth I believe that there are a number of toothpastes available with it added. The difference being that those who do not want to use it do not have it forced down their throats, and I do mean forced. Still I guess it's good news if you sell bottled water.

1) 'Large levels of fluoride salts reduce the incidence of dental problems massively' is not true. While there IS a small decline in caries, and it is small according to the latest data, there is also a large increase in dental fluorosis - so, the net incidence of 'dental problems' is far from a reduction.

2) 'Whether they have other effects is another matter which is not being considered here' - says you, but not me. If the SHA don't also consider the whole-body detrimental effects of introducing fluoride, then in my opinion they are being totally negligent. Quite frankly, that's equivalent to saying because seat belts DO sometimes cause some rib injuries, we should stop using them and totally disregard the worse dangers of flying through a glass windscreen at high speed.

A holistic approach should always be taken on the introduction of any new public health and/or safety measure. You have to weigh up ALL the pros and cons – something the SHA was not asked to do and, in fact, did not do.

I think you can rest assured that there are no imprities in your tap water however, the water that comes out of you tap is not pure. If you want pure water, buy distilled water.

Tap water, like spring and well water, is not pure.

When it leaves a river or a reservoir, it goes through filtres and chemical treatment before it comes out of your tap, and has travelled through pipes that are also cleaned with chemicals.

We were promised that fluoridation would not be imposed on against our consult. There WAS a massive consultation exercise, public meetings, and official and unofficial polls. All showed the majority of local people who chose to express a view were against.
There were a lot of very well informed people who are perfectly capable of reading and understanding the literature, and the risks, including some dentists and health professionals who also campaigned against the SHA riding roughshod over the public objections.
We expressed our view, and we do not want these toxic industrial waste products put in our water under the guise that it may help a few people who dont bother to clean their teeth.
Fluoridation will CAUSE health problems. Who to? To the responsible people and children who DO clean their teeth. Those who use fluoride toothpaste twice a day, and floss will fluoride coated dental tape will be at much higher risk of dental fluorosis. What is that you may ask? Awful brown stains on the teeth, and the only thing that can be done is to have expensive dental veneers put on your teeth to cover them. Just google dental fluorosis, and you will see some of the horrible staining that can result from this unecessary adulteration of our water supply.
Why should the responsible have to suffer the systemic health problems of swallowing fluoride, in their drinking water, from their cooking water, when the feckless will still have the same problems anyway, as they eat ready meals and drink fizzy drinks.
Give out free toothpaste to the poor. Dont poison the rest of us thanks! This is enforced medication against the will of the publication. Dont get me started on the other toxins you get added with the fluoride as a "bonus" from the industrial waste processes that generate the fluoride.
Thank God the House of Lords are looking at it!
And fluoride is of course a poison. Heaven forbid they add too much, or the system develops a fault.
Plus, the dose you will get will be worse if you are closer to where they add it in the system.

Also there are concerns about the effects on babies, as it passes across the placental barrier.

"Because of the risk for dental fluorosis, and the lack of demonstrable benefit from ingesting fluoride before teeth erupt, the American Dental Association - and a growing number of dental researchers - recommend that children under 12 months of age should not consume fluoridated water while babies under 6 months of age should not receive any fluoride drops or pills.

Fluoridated drinking water contains up to 200 times more fluoride than breast milk (1000 ppb in fluoridated tap water vs 5-10 ppb in breast milk). As a result, babies consuming formula made with fluoridated tap water are exposed to much higher levels of fluoride than a breast-fed infant. (A baby drinking fluoridated formula receives the highest dosage of fluoride among all age groups in the population (0.1-0.2+ mg/kg/day), whereas a breast-fed infant receives the lowest).

Dental fluorosis is not the only risk from early-life exposure to fluoride. A recent review in The Lancet describes fluoride as "an emerging neurotoxic substance" that may damage the developing brain. The National Research Council has identified fluoride as an "endocrine disrupter" that may impair thyroid function, while recent research from Harvard University has found a possible connection between fluoride and bone cancer."

FLUORIDE & the BRAIN

Fluoride's ability to damage the brain represents one of the most active areas of research on fluoride toxicity today.

Concern about fluoride's impact on the brain has been fueled by 18 human studies (from China, Mexico, India, and Iran) reporting IQ deficits among children exposed to excess fluoride, by 4 human studies indicating that fluoride can enter, and damage, the fetal brain; and by a growing number of animal studies finding damage to brain tissue (at levels as low as 1 ppm) and impairment of learning and memory among fluoride-treated groups.

According to the US National Research Council, "it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain."

Fluoride's potential to impair thyroid function is most clearly illustrated by the fact that -- up until the 1970s -- European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid). Fluoride was utilized because it was found effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland - even at doses as low as 2 mg/day.

Fluoride has been found to cause bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in government animal studies and rates of osteosarcoma among young males living in fluoridated areas have been found to be higher than young males living in unfluoridated areas. Osteosarcoma, while rare, is a very serious cancer. Children who develop osteosarcoma face a high probability of death (usually within 3 years) or amputation.

The Americans are waking up to the fact that fluoridation has more negative health consequences than benefits.
The industrial companies that want to get shot of this waste product without having to pay for safe disposal would much rather get paid by us for adding it into our drinking water.
But we all will pay the price

Water fluoridation accidents, resulting in excess levels of fluoride in water, have been one of the sources of acute fluoride poisoning.

Fluoride is a powerful poison - more acutely poisonous than lead. This explains why fluoride is the active ingredient in many pesticides and rodenticides. It also explains why accidental over-ingestion of fluoride can cause serious toxic symptoms.

Malfunctioning water-fluoridation equipment, leading to excess levels of fluoride in water, has been another periodic source of acute fluoride poisoning

A malfunctioning valve at a local water station caused nearly six times the normal amount of fluoride to flow into drinking water in parts of the city yesterday, state and local officials said.

Residents and businesses along Millham Street, Boundary Street and lower sections of Robin Hill Road and the surrounding area were instructed to flush the hot and cold taps in their faucets for at least 10 minutes....

...A DEP flier distributed to residents and businesses advised them to take extreme care when flushing their pipes, and not to come into contact with the water, which could cause burning, skin irritation or both. The flier assured residents that the problem had been fixed, but still requested that they take proper precautions.

Mr. Suuberg said that from around 10 a.m. to noon yesterday, there was a "chemical overfeed of fluoride" into the water system.

He said that officials at the Millham Water Treatment Plant told the DEP that a valve malfunction allowed a concentrated level of fluoride - which is normally used in the water to fight tooth decay in the city - to flow into the water system.

"A regular level of fluoride in the system is under four parts per million," Mr. Suuberg said. "After two hours, tests showed the fluoride level at 24 parts per million."...

Even the body who push for fluoridation admit that four in a hundred people influoridated areas will have the unsighltly brown staining of dental fluorosis.

This cant be fixed, all you can do is get into an EXPENSIVE rigmarole of having veneers - which tend to need to be redone

Dental veneers tend to cost £300 - £1500 EACH and last five to ten years.

Is it any wonder some of the dental profession are keen to ride roughshod over public concerns, I ask myself?

And even if some irresponsible infants end up with a few more fillings or tooth removals, guess what!

THEY GROW A NEW SET!

Is it fair that the healthy ones among us who drink a lot of tap water will have to worry about the effects and costs of dental fluorosis, the increased cancer risks, the increased risks of thyroid problems, the increased risks of hip fractures in old age (which are, lets remind ourselves, a leading cause of DEATH in the elderly)

How much of the pressure for fluoridation is coming from well funded lobbies in the chemical industry, I wonder. I would suspect quite a bit.

Surely poor teeth in young children is a useful indicator of incapable, neglectful and potentially abusive parents.

Would it not be better to simply take these children into care and put them up for adoption, rather than leave them in the care of parents who are incapable of supervising them cleaning their teeth? It doesnt take long, and isnt exactly tricky. Everyone else manages it.

Adding fluoride to the water may simply help to mask symptoms of neglect, and put children at risk of more serious consequences.

Much though I have a strong aversion to being on the same side as you in any debate, I must say you have marshalled an impressive case with facts, sources and convincing arguments.

Unfortunately, those who want to add this chemical to our water supply are blinkered to the evidence of harm, rely on a small subset of the available data and are determined to push on despite the democratic opposition of ALL the local councils that will be affected by this decision.

Reasoned argument, compelling peer-reviewed scientific research and morality do not seem to have any influence on this unqualified and undemocratic quango.

To Paramjit Bahia - most councillors voted NOT to add the Fluoride. 70% there abouts. The stupid councillors that think it is OK to pioson you were mostly Labour. A few abstained.

Adrian Monk - animals will be affected go to youtube and search for Fluoride problems in California. Animals were getting really sick. There are some sickening sights of how bad horses are getting and I mean change of personality. They would not touch the water and prefered the snow till owners figured out what was going on.

ALL because the big Fluoride producing companies must be giving millions to the various political groups.
Next time you buy fertilizer, or some aluminium product think about the fluoride gases, that was produced.
The first study in Texas in the 1940's was just cioncidental.Even the main technican/Scientist was surprised at how the authorities took up the info. and since used it all out of proportion.

Read the WHO site for the awful stories about who has suffered already.
Politicans want you to feel DISEMPOWERED that is the real reason they do it just to say 'you will do as we say'.just so that you are supposed to shut up and behave like some puppet.

6,500 VERY well informed AND local people said NO WAY!!!!

Next step???is more protest and more civil disobedience???
((At least you can buy a fluoride filter and take if off your water bill.))

ALL because the big Fluoride producing companies must be giving millions to the various political groups.
Next time you buy fertilizer, or some aluminium product think about the fluoride gases, that was produced.
The first study in Texas in the 1940's was just cioncidental.Even the main technican/Scientist was surprised at how the authorities took up the info. and since used it all out of proportion.

Read the WHO site for the awful stories about who has suffered already.
Politicans want you to feel DISEMPOWERED that is the real reason they do it just to say 'you will do as we say'.just so that you are supposed to shut up and behave like some puppet.

6,500 VERY well informed AND local people said NO WAY!!!!

Next step???is more protest and more civil disobedience???
((At least you can buy a fluoride filter and take if off your water bill.))

To Paramjit Bahia - most councillors voted NOT to add the Fluoride. 70% there abouts. The stupid councillors that think it is OK to pioson you were mostly Labour. A few abstained.
Adrian Monk - animals will be affected go to youtube and search for Fluoride problems in California. Animals were getting really sick.

Having spoken to some of my friends in conservatised NuLabour, I could not extract the names of those who voted for or sat on their hands.

You see how stupid your censoring filter is. I can still post it, but with gaps between the letters - although why you want to censor a noun who's meaning is 'a hoofed mammal of the horse family' is beyond me.

You really need to look at the evidence that is right before your eyes.

Australia - the Greens have just proposed to add to the Medicare levy in order to raise enough ash to try and deal with the huge increase in tooth decay - and they most of Australia has been fluordated for over 50 years? Tell me that water fluoridation works - bullshite!

And - we are paying a leading player for fluoridation to find out why tooth decay in Australia is on the rise - irrespective of water fluoridation - Professor John Spencer what a dill he is but the government is a bigger dill for paying him several millions of dollars to research this.

And look at the problem with tooth decay in the USA - mainly in fluoridated areas.

If you can't see this your name must be "Blind Freddie".

Could it possibly be that the rise in detected tooth decay in Australia is because there is an increase in the population from immigrants, from virtually all parts of the world, who have not had the benefits of fluoride in their early years?

I have no idea about tooth decay in any specific areas of the USA, but it is significantly less in the Midlands here where fluoride has been in the water for half a century.

I do not have to look to all parts of the globe to see what some anti-flouride group thinks, and if I did, I would not now in what proportions they dilute the fluoride, I only need to look to the Midlands and the proven benefits.

If everyone remembers the cr@p that comes from all the parties then i wouldnt think anyone will bother to vote again.

Percentage of people turning out to vote and their faith in political class has been going down, is the proof that most people do tend to remember the misdemeanour of slippery like snakes twin tongued councillors and MPs
.
But the big mouths keep on putting that down to apathy, which is not the whole truth, an average person tends to observe, tries to give reasonable chances, eventually gets fed up and delivers the verdict either by abstaining or by putting the cross in hurtful place on the ballot paper.
It was done to Tories in 1997 and we all know what happened 13 years later to Brown led conservatised NuLabour. People were promised prosperity but provided with poverty and increasing unemployment.
Locally Southampton had become a safe city for Labour but then betrayals of Labour values by reincarnated version of colonial commissioners Arnold and freemason’s wife useless Bridle handed over the power to likes of Royston Smith
.
Sadly by the look of it many local members of Milliband’s mob still have not learnt their lessons, vote on fluoride was one example and failing to back the unions against Tories is another

ALL because the big Fluoride producing companies must be giving millions to the various political groups.
Next time you buy fertilizer, or some aluminium product think about the fluoride gases, that was produced.
The first study in Texas in the 1940's was just cioncidental.Even the main technican/Scientist was surprised at how the authorities took up the info. and since used it all out of proportion.

Politicans want you to feel DISEMPOWERED that is the real reason they do it just to say 'you will do as we say'.just so that you are supposed to shut up and behave like some puppet.

Having spoken to some of my friends in conservatised NuLabour, I could not extract the names of those who voted for or sat on their hands. So I am trying to find which ones of my former colleagues want to force feed poison to the people and have publically said so and which cowards are playing both sides

I am told that virtually all the Tory Councillors voted against, so we opposed to this idea were virtually betrayed by our own side.

But the big mouths keep on putting that down to apathy, which is not the whole truth, an average person tends to observe, tries to give reasonable chances, eventually gets fed up and delivers the verdict either by abstaining or by putting the cross in hurtful place on the ballot paper.
It was done to Tories in 1997 and we all know what happened 13 years later to Brown led conservatised NuLabour. People were promised prosperity but provided with poverty and increasing unemployment.
Locally Southampton had become a safe city for Labour but then betrayals of Labour values by reincarnated version of colonial commissioners Arnold and freemason’s wife useless Bridle handed over the power to likes of Royston Smith

Sadly by the look of it many local members of Milliband’s mob still have not learnt their lessons, vote on fluoride was one example and failing to back the unions against Tories is anotherParamjit Bahia

It's CRAZY adding fluoride to our Water!!! Fluoride is in Toothpaste and MouthWash... If people decide NOT to brush there teeth and not look after there oral health, then that there problem! Don't punish others for other people mistakes! Simple's!

It is not that simple.

The mouth is the gateway to health. If it were just tooth decay that is the problem, I would probably agree with you, but is the illnesses that they cause that is what has to be addressed.

Hospitals do not turn away people who smoke and have a health problem that is related to smoking, and similarly, they do not refuse to treat those who have a drink related illness, so I very much doubt that they would refuse to treat people that have problems that has been caused by tooth decay.

Fags and booze are heavily taxed, which helps the NHS, but you can't put a tax of rotten teeth.

Just because you THINK that the midlands is ok cos everyone is flouridated. Then go and look at the 30% increase in fluorosis kids in the midlands.Go and tell them it is ok I dare you.

I have just read that a few yrs back that parents sued colgate cos their kids got fluorosis.

(1996)Here is the info:

"Sharon and Trevor Isaacs, of Highams Park, Essex, were paid by Colgate after their 10-year-old son Kevin (left) was diagnosed as suffering from dental fluorosis, where the tooth's enamel is mottled by fluoride. "

Their water was not even flouridated. this kid brushed his teeth twice a day and was not allowed to eat sweets.

" "I always used Colgate's Minty Gel and the pea-sized amount as recommended. I rang Colgate, but they said he would be all right." Mrs Isaacs said Kevin, who was teased at school over his "rotten teeth", had now been treated.

A letter from Colgate-Palmolive shows the company believed the cost of coating Kevin's teeth when he reached 17 would be £1,000. He has since had the mottled enamel removed."

So it seems we can sue??

Other parents have been trying to do the same:

Julian Middleton, a Nottingham-based solicitor acting for more than 200 children with fluorosis, said the payment could help families in their battle for legal aid. "We regard it as extremely significant - albeit it has been made without liability. "Fluoride is one of the most poisonous substances known to man. Experts say it is a cause of fluorosis. Yet there is nothing to say what is a safe dose for children, or to make parents aware of side effects."

Who will be the solicitor for a class action? now??
Sweden got the problem under control with their kids WITHOUT the use of fluoride but they did a very effective job of going into schools.

Kids teeth in this area HAVE improved and so that arguement to add fluoride is getting weaker.

The main thing that has happened in this town, is that there are more NHS dentists available then there used to be.

I never thought I would read about children dying from fluoride piosioning in the last century ( it was worse in the 19c)
but I just found this from authers den.com:

..."Unfortunately, there are cases of children dying after a routine cleaning of teeth at the dentist, as in the tragic case of a 3-year old Brooklyn boy in 1974 whose parents were awarded $750,000 after a lethal dose of fluoride at a dental clinic.

There are many other such tragic deaths of children for fluoride poisoning."...

I do know a local parent who has a little boy that knocked his teeth while playing and they went to the General and the professionals painted his teeth with Fluoride paint. She yelled at them!!! for doing that as they did NOT ask her permission.
Later on his teeth fell out. luckily it was his milk teeth.
But that means a few yrs of no front teeth for this boy till his permanent teeth will grow through.

I hope the house of lords will hurry up and give the council powers so that they can so NO!!! then the alloted costs can be used for something better!!!!

Australia - the Greens have just proposed to add to the Medicare levy in order to raise enough ash to try and deal with the huge increase in tooth decay - and they most of Australia has been fluordated for over 50 years? Tell me that water fluoridation works - bullshite!

And - we are paying a leading player for fluoridation to find out why tooth decay in Australia is on the rise - irrespective of water fluoridation - Professor John Spencer what a dill he is but the government is a bigger dill for paying him several millions of dollars to research this.

And look at the problem with tooth decay in the USA - mainly in fluoridated areas.

If you can't see this your name must be &quot;Blind Freddie".

Could it possibly be that the rise in detected tooth decay in Australia is because there is an increase in the population from immigrants, from virtually all parts of the world, who have not had the benefits of fluoride in their early years?

I have no idea about tooth decay in any specific areas of the USA, but it is significantly less in the Midlands here where fluoride has been in the water for half a century.

I do not have to look to all parts of the globe to see what some anti-flouride group thinks, and if I did, I would not now in what proportions they dilute the fluoride, I only need to look to the Midlands and the proven benefits.

One of the 'proven' benefits was my being diagnosed with coeliac disease on my return from a course in Birmingham, since drinking normal water my health has restored and I am able to ignore the gluten free diet. On looking into my past health I discovered that a similar condition occured when I was in the Newcastle area, which was fluoridated in 1968. I am already making plans to move to Kent should the local Health Authority decide to poison me.

Most of our Political members supported Flluoridation of our tap water MP's and Councillors alike including R Smith, but when they saw public opinion going agaist it change there minds over the matter with major elections coming up.
And what freefinker said about Councilor Noon appys to all Political memebers not just one, mind you having Sciencist as Politicians would be very dangerest and should be the last type of people with fincanciers allowed into politics, they are to narrow minded and only see things one way.

The SHA put aside £400,000 to fight the wishes of the public. That public money could have gone towards a mobile unit that travels junior schools, educating the children themselves on dental health care. Therefore missing out the 'ignorant parent'. Begging the question: Why are they ignorant?...Maybe a lack of education on the subject! Just medicating everyone will only keep the public ignorant to the real answer. A good diet, and regular brushing with a flouride paste if you wish. CHOICE.

Another thought: Who will be supplying our poison? Maybe a big industry that has it as a waste product. Illegal to dump it at sea, therefore what a great way to dispose of chemical waste...feed it to the poor and ignorant.

The link works fine leelee. Thanks for sharing, very informative. I am just horrified that my body will be used as a toxic waste dumping ground. I grow fresh veg, eat organic, have an average BMI for my height and my teeth are just fine. Every aspect of my life will be polluted with flouride, my veg, my cooking, and bathing, (flouride is absorbed through the skin). It's just appalling how 12 people have enforced this evil on us. Daresay they do not live in the areas to be poisoned.

This fluoride scare is very similar. The vast majority of the anti-brigade have little or no knowledge of the subject, and take every scare story as the gospel truth.

One section of the population the flouride puts at risk is those who are babies that are bottle fed- you need an alternative source of water but is it safe to use bottle water or does that have too many minerals? Not every woman can breast feed and I don't mean don't put enough effort in to trying. For example you may need medicine that cannot be taken if you breast feed or you have had a double mastectomy. Also have they proved that the flouride won't end up in breast milk or harm unborn children- including the effects of any contaminants that come with it by accident as apparently it will be another industry's waste that will be the source of flouride (apparently unlike in touthpaste)?

Not everyone will be able to afford that quantity of bottle water especially when Universal Credit kicks in- but even now for those who are amongst the ever increasing numbers of unemployed. Other people with in our society too may find it hard to buy that amount of bottle water.

Babies taken in to care or adopted as babies will be amongst those that cannot be breast fed unless adopted/fostered by someone already breast feeding a baby of their own (which is probably unlikely).

There are indeed campaigners who do not want the flouridation in the water system ....... but there are clearly residents that do or dont object.
.
It would also be interesting to know if the campaigners against the proposal actually live in the area's conderned.[/p][/quote]There are children that are suffering the after effects of Mumps, Measles and Rubella because their parents listened to one misinformed person and did not permit their children to have the MMR vaccination.
This fluoride scare is very similar. The vast majority of the anti-brigade have little or no knowledge of the subject, and take every scare story as the gospel truth.[/p][/quote]One section of the population the flouride puts at risk is those who are babies that are bottle fed- you need an alternative source of water but is it safe to use bottle water or does that have too many minerals? Not every woman can breast feed and I don't mean don't put enough effort in to trying. For example you may need medicine that cannot be taken if you breast feed or you have had a double mastectomy. Also have they proved that the flouride won't end up in breast milk or harm unborn children- including the effects of any contaminants that come with it by accident as apparently it will be another industry's waste that will be the source of flouride (apparently unlike in touthpaste)?[/p][/quote]And something I forgot: you need to be able to afford the bottled water to be able to use it for you baby's or babies' bottles. Not everyone will be able to afford that quantity of bottle water especially when Universal Credit kicks in- but even now for those who are amongst the ever increasing numbers of unemployed. Other people with in our society too may find it hard to buy that amount of bottle water.[/p][/quote]Babies taken in to care or adopted as babies will be amongst those that cannot be breast fed unless adopted/fostered by someone already breast feeding a baby of their own (which is probably unlikely).AspieMum

"you need to be able to afford the bottled water to be able to use it for you baby's or babies' bottles" - just remeber you can take off the cost of filtering and take it off your water bill. Read the councils against fluoride web site. There s A LOT of info there.

"Also have they proved that the flouride won't end up in breast milk or harm unborn children- including the effects of any contaminants that come with it by accident as apparently it will be another industry's waste that will be the source of flouride (apparently unlike in touthpaste)?"
Breast milk has the fluoride level .004. so nature does a great filtering job.

"This fluoride scare is very similar. The vast majority of the anti-brigade have little or no knowledge of the subject, and take every scare story as the gospel truth."
you are the one that does not read anything. Campaigners are the ones that ARE BETTER read than you are. We do NOT take every story as gospel at all.

There is a huge pile of good info. out there you just have to find it and read it.
Have you watched the fluoride lecture that Professor Connett and did an the book he wrote??

"There are children that are suffering the after effects of Mumps, Measles and Rubella because their parents listened to one misinformed person and did not permit their children to have the MMR vaccination."

Do you mean the mental retardation problems kids had and still have?
Would want your kid to go from being the average noisy kid to one that could not hold its head or talk straight within 24 hrs after injection?
I saw the documentaries yrs ago and got a bit sus then, as I never got all my vaccinations as a kid as my health suffered a lot then.

But whooping cough was around then, I never got vaccinated against that either my system could not handle it at the age of 3.

Several doctors over the years have been concerned about giving three vacinations at once to a child that does not have muuch of an immune system in the first place.
Better educated parents either went looking for the single jabs and got better results, or waited till their kids were a bit older so that they HAD an immune system - (which is the better way to go if you decide you want your kids to have vaccination.)
The REAL story is there are a lot more autistic kids around now than there ever was the numbers have risen consistently, but this government and the pharmacuetical industries do NOT WANT you to know the truth other wise there would be more class action suites. they dont want that now do they??

The bottom line here is look after your immune system your self stop beleiving in what you are told do your own research there is plenty of good info out there.

Doesn't alter the FACT that I myelf have a proven allergy to fluoridated water and there must be others like me who will be victims of the poisoning of our drinking water.

It looks like those affected badly will be those with an allergy, unborn children and babies, pets,... What about those who brush their teeth regularly with a flouride toothpaste? Will they now get an overdose? Can you use mineral (bottled) water for making up baby milk or does it have too many minerals (not every mum can breast feed- some for medical reasons outside their control)? What about the extra expense of bottle water on parents/pregnant women with low incomes? Will they get free safe water to protect their babies or will it have to come out of the family's food money? Probably the later. What about babies outside the target areas who will unknown to their parents get flourinated water because they can't target it properly, which was in a previous news report in the Echo. Everyone who will even accidentally get flourinated water needs to know in case such water is unsuitable or even dangerous for them and their household, whatever species they may be (i.e. including pets). They should be required to contact each household personally and not rely on newpaper reports. Also what of the waste of money on the public consultation when they had no intention of abiding by the result (unless they get the result they want of course)?
